Friendships

Friendships at the San

• Patients were seperated from all of their other friends at home and sometimes patients were assigned to different wards than friends.
• Patients made new friendships with other patients/workers.
• Some friends were afraid of TB so they didn't come near the San.
• The patients usually made close friends that were in the same ward.
• The ages of patients varied from 17-60.
• People played cards with their friends to stay occupied.
